BY Baldwin Bravo: THERE
is an old saying, ‘ask a stupid question, unleash a wave of outrage on a
global scale.’ Or, at least, I think it goes something like that.

By Jim Byset:Earlier this week, a reporter in Australia asked an
extremely stupid question of 19-year-old Canadian tennis player Eugenie
Bouchard. Bouchard had just made Canadian tennis history (yes, such a
thing actually exists) by becoming the first Canadian woman to reach a
semi-final in a Grand Slam. It was the latest milestone in Bouchard’s
amazing journey in becoming a serious force in world tennis. A smiling
Bouchard, breathless but clearly thrilled with her win, was asked – ‘if
you could date anyone in the world of sport, of movies, who would you
date?’

Social media reacted instantly with severe criticism of the
reporter, an accomplished athlete in her own right, as well as the
network that prompted her to ask such a question.

By Michael Krieger: While I understand the need for parents to pay for their children’s
lunches, what do you think the appropriate response should be by adults
running an elementary school upon realizing that some young children
with unpaid balances had already been served a full hot meal?Personally, I would assume that any reasonable human being would
allow the children to eat the lunches while at the same time calling up
their parents to sort out the problem. However, that’s not the action
deemed appropriate by the “child-nutrition manager” that visited Uintah
Elementary in Salt Lake City this past Tuesday. Nope, this person
decided that the best course of action was to seize already served
lunches and throw them in the trash in front of the victim’s classmates.

Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert discuss the print, taper, print, taper talk
that has led to the economic and financial chaos that finds the
Financial Times opining that one should do like the Bundesbank did and
demand physical delivery of your gold before your wealth becomes
pixellated.

WD:A rigged poll carried out for Newsnight shows more than a quarter of women
claim to have been sexually harassed, at work, on the street or in a
social situation. The dead give away is that men's experiences are ignored completely.

By Diana Davison(aka The COCK Fairy):When Laura Bates started the Everyday Sexism Project, the story goes
that she did it provide women with an outlet to talk about whatever they
wanted. The project itself specifically only asks them to relay stories
about sexism. Unsurprisingly this resulted in a website full of nothing
but sexual assault accounts, making it appear that sexism is rampant in
society. Now, having carefully manufactured her facts, Laura is
insisting we have to listen.Laura most certainly should be allowed to holler, shout, blubber,
whine, stomp her feet and carry on like a shrill harpy with a hashtag.
But we don’t have to listen. There is an important difference between
those two attitudes: One is right and one is stupid.While freedom of speech offers people the important ability to speak
their minds and convey their ideas it does not mean that anyone need be
forced to listen. Having the right to an opinion does not make your
opinion right.Laura, and her ilk, believe that filling a website with unverified
descriptions of events which may or may not have happened, perpetrated
by unknown assailants, and relayed to us by anonymous internet users,
equates to legitimate social research. It’s not her fault though.
Feminist so-called scholars have long been allowed to corrode academia
to the point where statistics can be created through citation alone, and
subjective anecdotes are renamed “lived experience” then treated like
scientific data.

Here's
the global financial crisis in a nutshell: access to easy credit can
solve a temporary liquidity problem, but it can't increase the value of
collateral or generate income.

By Charles Hugh Smith: The Chinese
culture has a wonderful vocabulary of colorful analogies and metaphors,
and today's title refers to the typhoon of liquidity (freely available
credit)that has flooded the global economy for the past five years.The source of the phrase
is Liu Chuanzhi, the Chairman of Lenovo and the iconic figure of
Chinese manufacturing. When asked a few years ago why 60% of Lenovo
Group’s profit came from asset investment and only 40% came from
manufacturing. He said “when the typhoons come, even a pig can fly in
the sky. Everybody is profiteering from this. Why can’t we?”The typhoon in this case
is China's credit/liquidity-driven real estate speculative frenzy, in
which the only losers are those who don't borrow to the hilt in the
shadow banking system and buy, buy, buy empty flats in vacant buildings.The critical
distinction to make about typhoons of credit-driven speculation (in
China, Japan, the U.S., Europe, etc.) is between liquidity and
valuation.

Inside the mind of the Central Bankster, there lurks an obscenely inverted demon

By John Ward: I am indebted to a source for alerting me to the content of the Bank of England Financial Stability Paper No 27.
This little read won’t be found anywhere on the bestsellers’ lists, but
it isn’t in any way a secret. What it demonstrates in tone and
conclusions, however, should be appreciated by everyone who thinks this
interregnum is just another blip, and we are turning corners once more
on our way to the sunny uplands of growth.

The paper offers a particular view about how
to ‘reduce the cost’ of Sovereign and banking defaults. In it there are
three starting assumptions:

1. It isn’t if but when

2. When the next event occurs, bailins will be used

3. Debtors should be allowed to move their defaults back…that is, move the goalposts, kick cans down the road etc etc.

Molucca Media: Respected Iraqi political exile, Dr Sami Ramadani, discusses the recent
Geneva 2 Talks - how Iran have been barred from attending those talks
and more. Tory MP Mark Pritchard, an intelligence and security
expert, failed to show. On discussion was Edward Snowden's bid to run
for the ancient post of rector of Glasgow University, one of the oldest
and best in the world.

By John Ward: There are myriad ways to judge what the real nature of the
Transparency of Lobbying (2014) Bill might be. As of this morning by the
way (subject only to the formality of Royal Assent) it has passed into
law.I say there are ways one can judge, because merely looking
at the bare content (which I’ve now done at length) isn’t going to get
you far in terms of interpreting what it might be used for, and what
motives might lie behind it. Hence the observations and suggestions
outlined below.1. I am always wary of legislation (or indeed any political
pronouncement) that contains the word ‘transparency’. Such abstract
nouns are intrinsically Orwellian, in that more often than not, the real
meaning is antithetical to the nomenclature. It smacks of protesting
too much.

johntheother:It is one of the goals of feminism to force men to stop taking an aesthetic interest in women. In feminist language, this is called sexual objectification. And if they succeed, it will be a lever of control of men, lost to women. And let's be honest here -- we're talking about feminists. So what would they have left. They'd have to do the the one thing feminists are terrified to do. They'd have to deal with men as equals.

Stefan Molyneux:Getting power through emotional unavailability, the damning of
sexuality, pleasure and punishment, addicted to physical possessions,
the morality of a non-aggressive military job, a dream analysis based on
self-censorship, investing in human capital, escaping isolation and the
journey towards happiness.

WD: Residents incarcerated per 100,000 -USA 716, UK 132, Libya 82, Sweden 67. Lets see how long it takes the UK to catch up with Top Gun USA after privatization of the prisons.

By Criminal Justice Degree Hub: At least 11 million people are sitting in prisons and detention
centers around the world. And with the global population continuing to
rise, prison population numbers are only going to swell in the coming
decades. Let’s explore how justice is meted out around the world.

Dear Reader

Are YOU Involved or Institutionalized? Our belief that the global economic crisis would persist and deepen is being vindicated and current events are now as clear as ever on the matter. Time for all of us to wake up, stand up and be counted or continue to lose all our liberties. Protect your homes and families. The sun will still rise but financial chaos and suffering due to the global fascist banksters' greed and corruption, slaughter due to the MIC's directed world wars in our name etc. is not pretty. We are feeling the effect on our society the size and like of which we have never known.

We are way past being surprised at the blanket suppression of this information by the BBC and main stream media propaganda machines. Information is clearly available elsewhere and unchallenged, accounts for a far more realistic rendition of what we have actually seen and what we continue to see develop, whilst the main stream news put out leaves many confused and bewildered, 99.9% of us wrong footed and the awakened indignant. As we can now see, the apparently 'soft fascist' powers that be aim to block these alternative avenues of information. Book up, "Long Live the Evolution."Feel free to kopimi. Angelo Agathangelou.

P.S. The MHRM, are calling out the constant misinformation disseminated by and maintain our open challenge especially to western radical feminists, to point out just one area where government in the UK, Europe or anywhere else in the English speaking world disadvantages women and girls when compared with men and boys, ...the wage disparity myth having long been debunked by serious academics and statisticians. So far this challenge has remained unanswered. Western feminism is obsolete.

George Orwell's Message: to everyone on the Internet

N.B.

These pages exist because we believe information from all perspectives should be aired, they do not necessarily reflect our views unless explicitly stated. We do not intend to cause offense, but we feel there is a need for such a shift in our society that to call it change rather than evolution would be an understatement. A velvet revolution towards living with reality for the individual, the family and society. A revolution towards living within our means and taking responsibility for ourselves, instead of mortgaging the future of our children to bloated leech faux democracy for the benefit of Ponzi 'banksters' and The Military Industrial Complex.
